lyrics

Let me tell you a story
About Dead Gulch Dan
Just five feet tall
40 inches around
He went to West Texas
With trouble on his mind
But he left riding fast
With the law close behind

Born in Cornflower
On the Oklahoma land
But no man ever feared
A “Cornflower Dan"
So he gave himself a new name
To set 'em quaking in their shoes
Now Dead Gulch Dan
He was reborn to lose

He tried robbing banks
And stopping trains
But he always fired early
And gave himself away
His second-rate
Kept other highwaymen home
So Dead Gulch Dan
Rode West alone

Just north of El Paso
He spied the prize
A slow-rollin’ wagon
With four maids inside
He came on hot
Stopped that wagon cold
But when his horse hit gravel
Dan hit the road

"Oh Dan, oh Dan,"
Those ladies sang
"You’d best go straight
Quit your outlaw ways
Killin' and stealin'
Ain't the life for you"
Dead Gulch Dan
Knew just what to do

Dan rode back East
All the way to New York Town
He pawned his saddle
And put his guns in the ground
He joined a big old bank
Full of slippery men
Now Wall Street Dan
Robs you with his fountain pen

The Federales Minneapolis, Minnesota

Since 2012, fans in the Twin Cities and beyond have lined up for this band’s infectious take on old-school country music. While their debut album Blues, Bourbon & Burritos took a straight-ahead approach to Midwestern country sounds and songwriting, their album Honkytonks & Hangovers leans woozily across a wider swath of American styles — rooted in the present but never jilting the past. ... more
